Stirnemann J, Villar J, Salomon L, Ohuma E, Ruyan P, Altman D, et al.
Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol . 2016 Nov; 49(4):478-486. PMID: 27804212
Objective: Estimated fetal weight (EFW) and fetal biometry are complementary measures used to screen for fetal growth disturbances. Our aim was to provide international EFW standards to complement the INTERGROWTH-21...

Papageorghiou A, Kemp B, Stones W, Ohuma E, Kennedy S, Purwar M, et al.
Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol . 2016 Mar; 48(6):719-726. PMID: 26924421
Objective: Accurate gestational-age (GA) estimation, preferably by ultrasound measurement of fetal crown-rump length before 14 weeks' gestation, is an important component of high-quality antenatal care. The objective of this study...

Santos L, Ong K, Day F, Wells J, Matijasevich A, Santos I, et al.
Int J Obes (Lond) . 2016 Feb; 40(6):1012-7. PMID: 26880232
Background: Body shape and size are typically described using measures such as body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference, which predict disease risks in adults. However, this approach may underestimate...

Goncalves H, Pearson R, Horta B, Gonzalez-Chica D, Castilho E, Damiani M, et al.
Psychol Med . 2015 Oct; 46(2):415-24. PMID: 26456404
Background: Episodes of depression and anxiety (D&A) during the transition from late adolescence to adulthood, particularly when persistent, are predictive of long-term disorders and associated public health burden. Understanding risk...

Int J Obes (Lond) . 2015 Sep; 40(1):14-21. PMID: 26395747
Background: Several studies have reported on associations of size at birth and early growth with general and central obesity; however, few have examined the potential effects of birth weight and...

Papageorghiou A, Kennedy S, Salomon L, Ohuma E, Cheikh Ismail L, Barros F, et al.
Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol . 2014 Jul; 44(6):641-8. PMID: 25044000
Objectives: There are no international standards for relating fetal crown-rump length (CRL) to gestational age (GA), and most existing charts have considerable methodological limitations. The INTERGROWTH-21(st) Project aimed to produce...

Obes Rev . 2013 Oct; 15(2):77-91. PMID: 24112242
We performed a systematic literature review on the associations between birth size and abdominal adiposity in adults, while also investigating the role of the adjustment for adult body mass index...

Howe L, Hallal P, Matijasevich A, Wells J, Santos I, Barros A, et al.
Int J Obes (Lond) . 2013 Oct; 38(7):973-9. PMID: 24097298
Background: Previous studies have found greater adiposity and cardiovascular risk in first born children. The causality of this association is not clear. Examining the association in diverse populations may lead...
